OPTICrAL REPuitT from his Excellency the GENERAL IN the Expeditionary' Army, to , the CAPTAIN-GE. NLKAL, pro tempore, of Venezuela. The 13!li inst. in the afternoon, I came out from Valencia, finding myself decided to attack the - enemy; and yesterday morning . I succeeded in surprising 900 of them at La Cabrera, none of whom could reach the 'Maracay, where they bid their principal forces, which were composed of 1200 cavalry and a small battalion of infantry; they were attacked by the gallant Brigadier D. F. Morales, who charged them through the streets of the same town, with the dragoons of the Union and the squadron of guards of the General, routing and dispersing them totally in all 'directions, after having slain more than 250, taking front them a flag, 40 loads of ammunition, shout 9209 horses, unites, and beasts of every description, and a numiter of baggage boxes of spears, the articles which they cowardly. left there. We had only five men killed and four wounded. I imatediatelyproceetted to this town on purpose to attack them in their rear, knowing that they were in the town 4.,a Victoria r; and now that it is galf-paSt one o'clock, I hare been jammed by a woman, that the Brigadier Latorre repaloed them yesterday, obtaining advantages, and Obliging them to cost,ht had to the ahovesaid town of Victoria ; -but I am yet unucapainted with Me oeetainty of this fact, as I did not receive any official Report of the above front the Briga dier. I have been likewise warned this very moment by the advanced posts, that the enemy are seen directing themselves through the road of Curoso, after having come down'the Hill of the Mules on their march towards Villa Ilk Cura ; ftir which reason, in this very moment, I undertake the pursuit after them, notwithstanding that the troops have had no hies tither to dine ur to sleep, and L intend to follow am* kvithout having had time to rest, till the sere• riser Ornnoce God preserve your Lordship many years. 1 1 .1/31.0 MURILLO tlead-Quarters of ragul, March 15, 1618.

CHRISTIANA (NORWAY), APRIL 25.-Our Of. ficial Gazette s ates, tort about eight days before Easter several tato of the parish of Heroe, who were fishing for cod, perished in a storm. Ot ►he evening of Easter-day some fishermen drew in '"with their nets a shark, in the stomach of wliicit WNS found two tons of oats, and the body of a man in the costume of a sailor, having on a skin dress and sea boots, but wit bout a hat : it was recog nized to be the body of one of the men who pe rished in the above-mentiOned stoup.' Though we have taken from a respectable Mor'ning Paper the Extraordinary Gazette issued by the Spanish Authorities in the revolted Colo nies, yet we view them with almost as much sus picion as we did the vaunted and vaunting "official" reports of liouvaa's successes, which we rejected as gross exaggerations, if not absolute falsehoods. Accounts of Mortmco's successes bad been pre viously received, which this Extraordinary Ga zette appears to confirm : it is evidently trans lated by a foreigner, as it displays several idio matic errors. • It has been hinted to U 3, in a quartet• by no months unfriendly to Government, but where, in- deed, its measures have been firmly supported, that a dissolution of Parliament is not so near at hand as has been generally suppoied. We, however, are inclined to retain the opinion which we have be- fore avowed, that the event will happen earlier than seems to be expected. It is certain that many of the supporters of Govetnment, who may be supposed to know something of the matter, are preparing to leave town at a minute's warning, which would hardly be the case if they had not received a very intelligible intimation. But the reason assigned by those who think the event is to be postponed, is one of rather an extraordinary kind, and one to which, with all our respect for the quarter whence it came, we are not disposed to give much credit. The rea►on al luded to is to the following effect :—Ministers, it is said, confident in their good intentions, and in the rectitude of their political mea sures, have neglected those courtesies which are usually practised, and which stron g ly tend to conciliate and secure those partizans to whom they are Unable to afford more substan tial teturns for habitual support, or who are too independent in principles and situation to require more than ordinary complacency and at tention. I . lcoce it has hcen said that many of these constant, yet independent supporters of Go vernt, have felt mortification and disgust, and are not likely to be equally warm in their attachment to Ministers, par icularly in a new Parliament.— Another cause, combined with the natural impulse of mortified pride, on supposed neglect after per severing support, is said to be disapprobation of the proposed measure fin increasing the income of the Princes, as inconsistent with the circum stances of the Country--and many of the persons who have hitherto given their Parliamentary sup port to Ministers are said to reason thus :—" Why are we to continue to support those who seem. to rely on our support nierety as a matter of course, because we act from principle, and who do not treat us even with common caurtesy—lf Mi nisters had persevered iu urging the measures for augmenting the incomes of the Pat NcEs, as ori ginally. proposed, we should have been placed in a vet y embarrassing predicament, tot:we have rea son to think that, if we had supported those mea sures to the extent proposed, Our Constituents would have withdrawn their confidence, and our interesta have been considerably affected, on a new ElectioO.—flesides, we conceive that, if those measures had not been abandoned, the voice of the Country would have been forcibly raised against them ; therefore we ate htingiiig our own inte rests into , hazard by suppOrting those who seem to treat us with neglect and indifference almost amsmuting to contempt." Such is the reasoning, we . bave beard, which previtili among those who are by no means indifferent to Ministers, or at all disposed to change sides, but ratbei. to maintain a system of armed neutrality.' We place, however, ittle confidence in this statement, though, as we tave said, we respect the quarter whence it ssued, for it is so obviously the interest of Minis ers, even upon the ordinary rules of policy, to reat their friends with kindness, particularly ai the retrenchme►►ts, reductions, and abolitions, which have taken place, and are still in progres she train, have deprived them of the means of affording solid favours, that we cannot suspect our Rulers of the neglect imputed to them. Be tide', their education, rank, manners, and habits, tender the supposition not . only incredible, but absolutely absurd. Yesterday the Duke of CLA/MiCi dined with Mr. bud Mrs. COLITIS.
